    @UrSoUpset @astaranx @CMAgovUK Men is not only cod, is overwatch, is crash, is all blizzard games, and all Activision IP that has been in PlayStation since you can remember. So why would Xbox take all of those IP away, that is why you must worry you are losing close to 50 IP

  • ErenyeahG eren (@ErenyeahG) reported

    Overwatch is definitely broken. No, I don’t suck at this game. Shut up 😡

  • Beavers_McWood beavers McWood (@Beavers_McWood) reported

    @ZippityZzapity It's better than overwatch 1, like 3 broken heros atm, but other than that really fun

  • lightning_kf lightning_kf 🇧🇧 (@lightning_kf) reported

    @thicc_stick_boi A social influencer who plays Overwatch has issues? Well, I never.

  • MackenzieHepp14 hazely (@MackenzieHepp14) reported

    @FloofyMaki *looks down list of overwatch 2 launch issues* "Oh theyd broken the ranked system at launch"

  • Kagetsyu 天照大神☀️ (@Kagetsyu) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ It’s got it issues just like overwatch one did but nowhere near to the same extent in my opinion. Far be it from me to say that I’m not having a good time.

  • HandsomeJesus Common name (@HandsomeJesus) reported

    @TaboriHK can't remember the last time I watched a stream, probably when Overwatch was big. The live service games now seem kinda dull in comparison. Lot of the people I used to watch either got big and obnoxious or are gone now entirely

  • mkfivnation MKFiV (@mkfivnation) reported

    Having to reinstall Overwatch 2 because I've had an error matchmaking since yesterday, tried Scan and Repair but that kept failing and went into an infinite loop only making things worse

  • k1ngsc0ut_24 K1ngSc0ut 24 (@k1ngsc0ut_24) reported

    I've got a problem with the overwatch community Since overwatch 2 is now free, I've noticed a load of new players in the game. Unfortunately, that has also lead to a handful of og players trying to gatekeep the game. As in they belittle new players for everything wrong they do.

    @BeastMode4TM @Kazoorion @NintendoAmerica Alright, but let's compare this with something like Overwatch 2. Even games like Call of Duty which have drops and boot players from matches or crash entirely and have massive outages. People go on and on about how horrible Nintendo online is, but look at the rest of the industry

  • poklaneNL Mitch (@poklaneNL) reported

    @Banbo02937026 @ARITSgaming @charlieINTEL Activision definitely isn't "just another studio", they're the owners of one of the biggest games out there, and that's ignoring all the other stuff like Overwatch, Crash, WoW, Tony Hawk.

    @shwagsean @N8breed @IGN A big issue with overwatch player so is that they all want to 1v5 lol

  • TGDefinition TGD (@TGDefinition) reported

    People have been complaining about the Overwatch 2 hit reg & mouse input? LOL, it's been fine the entire time & has been nothing but a smooth experience from the very first game. Sounds like a skill issue to me

  • TomCase147 Tom Casey 🖖 (@TomCase147) reported

    @EnterprisingIt I never buy the first generation overwatch to many problems I’m not out with the first generation fit bit watch couple years ago. I’ll stick with my Apple for now lol.

  • WiiPlease j̴a̴y̴d̴e̴n̴ (@WiiPlease) reported

    So my friends who play in console complain about playing with me ( whos on pc ) because of the pc pool? Skill issue i guess. do yall not want a support 🥱👎🏼 #Overwatch

  • FiammaOrSmth Fiamma (@FiammaOrSmth) reported

    @IGN Live service games are either actual live services or an excuse to make cosmetics available for a limited time Overwatch 2 is the latter

  • medhurst1180 Medhurst1180 (@medhurst1180) reported

    Got a update for Overwatch 2 but everytime i try to install its says error 🤔 anyone else having this issue? @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • matthewbest93 matthew best (@matthewbest93) reported

    Of all the **** they broke in overwatch 2 they actually fixed rank making me believe Jeff kaplin was the problem for that. Getting 35 points one game 7 the next then 12 then losing 45 points on a loss where you go 16-4 with 11k as a healer felt like actual trash.

  • lewd_logan 🔞🏳️‍⚧️LewdWithLogan🏳️‍⚧️🔞 (Artist) (@lewd_logan) reported

    Can my overwatch 2 stop ******* stuttering how do I fix this bruh

  • avivbhowmik Avivbhowmik (@avivbhowmik) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I'm having problems signing up for overwatch 2 it says battle net cannot process ur request at the moment

  • FatHamster02 Hampter (@FatHamster02) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ They should bring it back not that I ever used it. I only ever play when my friends do so I guess just have friends and no problem. Might be hard for overwatch players tho

  • A_Spooky_Lad Spooky (@A_Spooky_Lad) reported

    I can't play Overwatch 2 today this lag is unbearable. Fix your **** Blizzard. *****.

  • IWantACapriSun_ CaPrI sUn  (@IWantACapriSun_) reported

    @BlizzardCS can you please explain why I'm being suspended from Comp on overwatch when I receive an achievement on Xbox and proceed to get a LC-208 error

  • URCZ9 URCZ (@URCZ9) reported

    Overwatch 2 don't want Dream. His words are little DDoS attacks that shuts down the servers. Looks like people are playing Cyberpunk instead. #dreamisafreak

  • lucid42069 Astral (@lucid42069) reported

    i'd play overwatch 1 for hours straight, never have any issues. i can't play overwatch 2 for even 1 hour without dc'ing 5 times. i miss my favourite game, dude.
